TOP STORY Liverpool, Chelsea and City move for Buffon

Gianluigi Buffon could be heading to the Premier League next season.

While Paris Saint-Germain are in pole position to sign the veteran goalkeeper after he announced his departure from Juventus, Tuttosport says that if PSG don't tempt the former Italy No. 1, then offers from Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City will arrive.

The 40-year-old spent 17 seasons with the Old Lady and amassed 300 clean sheets in the process. His final game with the team comes this weekend against Verona.

22.44 BST: That's going to do it for Friday's live edition of Transfer Talk. Thanks very much for joining us, and be sure to check back in a few short hours when we return with the latest gossip pulled from Saturday morning's back pages.

21.37 BST: Is Nabil Fekir's rumoured move to Liverpool done and dusted? The Express reports that Lyon manager Bruno Genesio has told Lyon's website that, "For some, this may be the last game. ... I think Nabil will play a big match on Saturday."

From a purely numbers standpoint the move adds up, as with Man City assistant Mikel Arteta likely to get the manager job at Arsenal, there would be an assistant coaching position open under Pep Guardiola. Guardiola and Iniesta are also close from their time together at Barcelona, adding further fuel to the fire.

That's where the feasibility of this one stops though, as Iniesta has been mainly linked with moves to Asia and there has been no talk of him transitioning into coaching just yet. This one seems a longshot but with Iniesta's move to China falling through, there are sure to be new suitors for the midfield maestro.

Your move Andres.

20.13 BST: Here's a potential big one. David Alaba to Real Madrid? The Bayern Munich star's father and agent George Alaba says that Real Madrid are "very interested" in signing his son.

"Everyone knows that Real Madrid are really interested in David," George Alaba told AS. "But we can't say anything right now. We'll see what happens in the summer. Now isn't the moment to discuss who is interested in him."

Alaba is one of the most versatile players in world, capable of starring at four or five positions, and would warrant a handsome transfer fee. We will keep an eye on this one as the summer progresses.

19.40 BST: With Middlesbrough eliminated from the Championship play-off, defender Ben Gibson figures to be a hot name for Premier League sides.

One club to watch is Southampton, as Mark Hughes made a run at Gibson back when he was in charge at Stoke and could come calling for the now 25-year-old again. Gibson made 46 appearances this season in the Championship and last season started all 38 games in the Premier League as Boro were relegated.

19:08 BST: Not a transfer per se but ex-Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has provided a specific update on his future.

"I am going to give myself until June 14, the day the World Cup begins, to decide. The question is do I still want to coach, to be on the bench, or is it time to take up different functions?", said the French boss in an interview with BeIn Sports.

Will Wenger manage next season? We'll just have to wait until June 14th I guess. Good timing Arsene.

18:35 BST: Is world football about to have a new most expensive defender? If Napoli are to sell centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly then the answer is apparently yes.

08.11 BST: Superdeporte report that Valencia have rekindled their interest in Arsenal forward Lucas Perez and want to sign him this summer.

However, with €120 million of the €200m owner Frank McCourt promised to invest in his first four years already spent, the French daily casts doubt on the ability of the Europa League runners-up to meet the financial demands of such a deal.

Even though Antonio Conte is almost certain to depart the sideline, Chelsea will continue their recruitment of the striker. They also think highly of Nice midfielder Jean Michael Seri after Barcelona pulled out of a deal to sign the Ivorian last summer.

Dortmund turn attention to Morata

Borussia Dortmund will now make a move for Alvaro Morata after receiving no encouragement in their efforts to make Michy Batshuayi's loan deal permanent, the Mirror reports.

The Bundesliga giant's interest in Batshuayi was understandable considering he scored nine times in 13 appearances on loan. But Chelsea appear more interested in offloading Morata, who had a difficult first season at Stamford Bridge.

Juventus also emerged as a potential suitor for Morata, who earlier had a productive two-year spell in Turin, but the Old Lady would prefer a loan deal, while Dortmund could tempt the Blues with a permanent offer, claims the Mirror.

United close in on another full-back

But while a £44m deal for Juventus defender Alex Sandro looks to be edging closer, a fee for Sidibe could be tougher to agree on.

Monaco will look for a fee of around £52m, the same as they received from Manchester City last summer for Benjamin Mendy.
